Help yahoo email access

I have the samsung captivate and the only way to get Yahoo email is to use there app. Getting email seems quick and easy enough. Can only go back and retrieve email if I got to applications and reopen through there. No icon? has to be an easier way. HELP
 
Yahoo can be set up manually (IMAP) in the stock client and seems to work better with 2.2 than it did with 2.1. The below works perfectly for me. I found this on another forum, I don't recall which one.

Incoming settings:

IMAP Server: android.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Security type: SSL
IMAP Path prefix: [leave this blank]

Outgoing settings:

SMTP Server: android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465
Security type: SSL
Make sure the box is ticked for 'Require sign-in'
